The 2019 season for the Miami Dolphins is about to start for real this coming Sunday at 1PM. Both teams have had some radical makeovers, neither team is particularly recognizable from the teams that played last season. Both long time starting QB’s are playing for other AFC teams, Ryan Tannehill for Tennessee and Joe Flacco for Denver. Also gone from the Ravens are Terrell Suggs, C.J. Mosely, Eric Weddle and Michael Crabtree. Gone from the Dolphins are Laremy Tunsil, Cam Wake, Kiko Alonso and Kenny Stills.
The Dolphins have officially made the change to a 3-4 base defense. After jettisoning most recently DE Tank Carradine, newly acquired DT John Jenkins will line up at LDE, Davon Godchaux at NT and rookie Christian Wilkins at RDE. Sam Eguavoen at LOLB, Raekwon McMillan at LILB and Jerome Baker at RILB with and Charles Harris at ROLB. Xavien Howard and Eric Rowe are the starting CB’s with the safeties being Reshad Jones and Bobby McCain. That different enough for ya?!?!
On offense, recently traded for LT Julie’n Davenport makes his first start as a Miami Dolphin. Next to him at LG is rookie Michael Deiter. Veteran Daniel Kilgore starts at C with rookie Shaq Calhoun starting at RG. Jesse Davis will be the starter at RT. WR’s DeVante Parker and Jakeem Grant will be on the outside with Albert Wilson in the slot. Mike Gesicki will be the starting TE. Kenyan Drake will be the starting RB along with Kalen Ballage as the backup but I expect both backs to get to a similar workload. Mark Walton, Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin will also get a sprinkle of touches, but more than likely we’ll only put 4 backs on the game day roster and that will include FB Chandler Cox.
It will be interesting to see how this young OL fares against the Ravens D. I’m not expecting a lot, it could be ugly at times.I’m not especially interested in watching QB Ryan Fitzpatric play, although hopefully Fitzmagic shows up on Sunday. Can DeVante Parker have a strong start? Probably not as I expect a strong dose of the run game. I don’t know if either Drake or Ballage will find much room but I expect close to 30 carries or more for us.
On defense I’m curious to see how all the parts work in the 3-4 base. Odd that Jenkins isn’t at the nose and Godchaux at DE. Hopefully we can generate some pass rush with some well disguised blitzes and keep the Ravens guessing as to where the rush is coming from. Harbaugh is an excellent coach and the Ravens a very disciplined team. We’ve seen the Ravens shred us for years, maybe the guys on the field for us will do better as most of them weren’t a part of that.
In summation, I just want us to look prepared, and I want us to be aggressive on defense. I expect a conservative game plan on offense to keep us in this game. Coach Flo won’t be caught sitting at the end of the bench by himself drawing up plays on his tablet during the game. I expect a low scoring affair, not too unlike what we saw last night from Chicago and Green Bay.
Dolphins 9 – Ravens 9
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Bad finger ? Or Come and Get It ?
What do you get when you combine a Bad Finger, with a Butthole Surfer?
I’d rather not find out!!!!!!!! 😉
Piggy,
Years ago a coworker told me I always walk/strut like this song is playing just for me, lol.
Nice 👍
I figured she must be right and adopted it. Still my background song to this day even though I’m sure that strut is long gone, lol. 🙂
I always change the words on this to Walk with an Erection
Wyoming : you get this from last nights game 🤡
And may I also point out it was Piggy who posted this last night 🤔🤯
No the name of Robs band!
I bet you all thought it would be “Who let the dogs out”
That was such a great tune ..,shocked me when i first heard was C&C..
How stuff Doggie ??
Good to see you back Howie!
Awesome tunes folks! 🙂

I Loved Sweet !!!!
krokus also did a great remake of this ^^
Dig it!
great song
Something to think about. John Jenkins might actually play some DE this yr, but how can we line up a 359 lb DE against Jackson?
Don’t buy into it too much. 😉
I dont think he’ll ever line up at DE. I’m not buying it at all.
Since we have the Texans 1st in 2020 I hope they lose all their games.
my theme song…….. “bang bang, I am the warrrior ” ………cheesey, but true.
to be played at my funeral.
also to be played at my funeral.
cheesey warrior? lol
are we invited to the funeral, and will it be open bar? lol JK

i think the best way to defend against the ravens offense is to load the box and stop mark ingram,/ lamar jackson from running, make them beat us passing against rowe howard ans mccain
spread em out on offense, they have 2 fat guys on the front 7, the rest are speedy guys, make those fat guys run and get them gassed early, use the speed of grant and wilson to break down their secondary.
Put our fat guy Jenkins in the middle, then play the boundary.
i’ve got a feeling that miami will upset the ravens.

Ravens in all black too.
On cut down Saturday , which seems so long ago now, I said we should get Webb at LT but I meant as a backup to Tunsil.
Yes, D said he thought someone mentioned that and I made sure to give you full credit. Good job!
Fuck him, I hope that no NFL team picks him up!
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2852737-antonio-brown-tells-raiders-to-release-him-in-instagram-post-amid-drama
I told you, the devil Belicheat got ahold of him. He said you want the ultimate revenge against the Steelers? Come to NE and let’s pass their 6 rings. 👹
If someone picks him up immediately the should get a white glove investigation.
The league should Kaep him, no pun intended.
Here is Bats funeral song.
Here’s Mikey’s.
You guys and your damn music. I should do one of those home repeat post until the page turns, so it loads faster.
Tim’s
Ok I’ll stop Steve, I gotta fine one about complaining for you anyways lol

D I was going to award Mike the prize for most annoying song post yet , on savage Lover .. I think you just (barely) one upped him 🤪
Lol
No offence to either of you 🤡
Some good players other than Yua worth watching today
Chase Young – OSU, Edge
Yetur Gross-Matos, PSU, Edge
Kenny Willekes, MSU, Edge
AJ Espinosa, Iowa, Edge maybe DT
Can you see a theme here
I was a pass rusher…lol
Looks like the Big Ten might be the best source outside of Alabama and Auburn for Edge help
J’Piggy, draft peeps are predicting all 4 of those guys will go in the top 10 of next years draft. Some are saying only Tua and Herbert will be QB’s taken in the top 10.
Wow really
Chase Young is top 5 (at the moment)
But the others I thought were mid rounders or late first
There are some good OTS too
And a couple of DBs and WRs that will make a push for too 10
I think right now Gross-Matos is the one I have my eye on
Toba – That’s classic disco (Savage Lover). I love that song, but it’s not something that I sit down and listen to. It’s a great dance song though, and certainly not for everyone. I was just with a group of friends from Brooklyn who love disco so it was fresh in my mind.
🤷♂️🤡 to each their own sir … I had to stop it about 90 seconds in …
Just funnin
Believe me, I went through a disco sucks stage in my life as well. I don’t hate on any music really
I can’t believe WY was picking on me for posting the butthole surfers right before he posted Patty Smythe…lol
Wasn’t that Top ??
Ah shit…may bad Top
I was trying to give WY a hard time about something
I officially suck at this
Mike: I don’t hate on genres either , some songs just hit me the wrong way … #1 example is Whitney’s I Will Always Love You… I get angry as soon as it starts, and just about break whatever it is playing on try it to stop it … i choked her wax sculpture at toussauds in Vegas …
But for some reason I can picture you rockin the Wide Flare White pants , platform Boots, gold chains and shirt open to the navel ….
O wait, take away the chains and wide open shirt and that was me 😱
Mike in the 70s
Exactly how I pictured him yup
It was Toba and Wyo playing with you when you first posted it. Not sure If Top came in on it later on
I know it was Toba and Wy
(Piggy checks his “list”)
I just thought it was WY that posted the smythe song
Now I have to wait for him to post something other then cheerleader picks for revenge
This will be played at my funeral:
Love that song… and Hot Tub Time Machine 🤡
My funeral song…
Piggy, some of these “draft experts” have AJ Espinosa going before Young. There is a whole lot that can happen between now and April 2020 though.
Same goes for QB’s. This could be a big QB class if certain Juniors like Sam Ehlinger declare for the darft. There could also be some who take big steps in their play this year and end up in the 1st round talk like Joe Burrow of LSU. Burrow struggled early in his career but has had a great start to his senior season.
These two QB’s go head to head tonight. #9 Texas vs. #6 LSU. Will be a good one to watch! Especially for draft nuts like me!!
That’s going to be a Great game
Yes, there’s a bunch of football (actually all of it) to be played
These rankings turn upside down between now and April
I personally can not stand the tank for Tua talk
It’s not bc I doubt Tua
But I don’t even know that he will be the top QB yet
Pass rushers traditionally can go unnoticed early in their college careers and then burst into the scene in their final college year – So there’s probably a bunch that aren’t on anyone radar yet
Rock`o – My keyboard at work has l`accent aigu
Actually, I don’t think that’s it, it’s the wrong direction
D — who posts a conversation with your coach to the world? And FYI — Brown committed a crime by doing that cause Cal is a two-party permission state, and sorta thinking Gruden didn’t give permission.
Manitobas favorite
You are an evil man
Oakland Raiders@Raiders
The Raiders have released WR Antonio Brown from the team today.
Seriously ??
The boy is a head case
I truly hope no team signs him. He can create his own league where he doesn’t have to listen to anyone
He might just want to retire if he’s acting like this
I have a feeling this is it for him. No team is going to give him guaranteed money w/o provisions like the Raiders had. He’s probably going to have to sit out a year
Some team will sign him….. but he won’t be getting the money the Raiders gave him. Least not the guarantees.
And all you guys above should show compassion given the situation to a real nice guy. ER took him in the Toba League. 🙂
Asante Samuel tweets Patriots are on the clock 🤷♂️🤯
Stanger – He didn’t get any that money. They voided his contract. Any team will put in those same provisions, they’d be fucking crazy not to
^ any of that money
Meant as big a contract. How could he get one for the same amount after what happened? Guessing he takes a year off like his RB Steeler buddy did. Maybe the reports were a great time to refresh and recharge.
Damn. I’m 54 today and or first game is tomorrow. Life is good. 😎👍🐕
Happy 367 birthday dawg.. ya don’t look a day over 350 🤡🎂
our ^^^
How can any GM sign him?
Think about how much damage he did to the raiders
They sought they had an elite WR all the way through training camp
All of the sudden he acts like this
How can they get a replacement now
He made maycock and gruden look bad
They tried to get past it and he made a Nike ad of Grudens conversation with him
He damages the reputation of their coach, gm and hurt their roster
I know I’m in the minority on this one, but I’m still not okay with when Luck retired bc it out the colts in a bind for 2019, but this is 1000x worse
If you don’t want to be part of the team dont be – that’s cool
It’s your life to live
But if you know they are counting on you – be someone who can be counted on
It’s not like the nfl turned into the nfl overnight
Everybody knows what the nfl is
I’m kind of reminded about what Timmons did to us
No one should ever sign Steelers free agents
Happy Birthday Doggy!!!
Happy birthday 🐶
Don’t hump too many couches!
Piggy I couldn’t get past the name to even listen!
It titillated my 13 year old humor! 🙂

That’s a happy B-Day to our favorite Dog.
I guess Brown and the Kreepersniffer can play catch?
They should start their own league. The EX-FL
🙂
Hey Raiders – any interest in Devante Parker?
Lol
Can we just draft the whole Iowa line?
Their QB has enough time to send a text before throwing!
IF we draft OL early I want it to be the Wisconsin OG/C he is a Biasasz
He will definitely be worked into a “few” mocks!
Thanks for the Birthday wishes everyone 🐕
I’m just realized Brown was traded to the raiders
So I kind of get the sense he didn’t want to play for them
That’s a big mistake by the raiders
Where’s Cav? 🙂
Told him yesterday that if the cut happened would end up in the courts and in the hands of disreputable lawyers like you and Ken….lol
Mike would know about dead money . . .
Dolphins wearing all white tomorrow

Free Agent Antonio Brown, unofficial world record holder in selfishness
“You are gonna piss alot of people off when You start doing whats best for You”
The jets will claim AB off of waivers, just to block the cheats. The cheats however won’t put in a claim for him, because he costs too much, they’d wait until he becomes an FA.
Hard work gets rewarded in this front office!
You beat me — thought RTs got paid a lot more than that, but maybe LT and James still rule.
Jesse Davis’ extension was for 3 years and $15 mil. Whether at RT or G….. sounds like starting G money, or maybe a versatile 6th OL is worth that much these days.
the raiders should trade for Parker ,Fins dont need him
Wyoming, I really like the OL from Georgia and Iowa. If I were to take one in the first round next year, I think it would be the LT from UGA since we just inked Davis to an extension.
This is hilarious
https://youtu.be/1pkU0tVFqJE
Dolphins payroll all the way down to 105 million
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/
We’re like Secretariat in winning the dead cap though. So good to be best at something. 🙂
Piggi, late to the party, but here is my entrance song
We invest money into Jessie Davis? He blows
On that link that David put up, if you hit the 2020 tab comes something amazing……. $131 mil in Phins cap space for next season as of now. Miami and Indy are the only two teams with more than $100 mil.
But we were scared to pay Tunsil smh
We’ll be able to buy the 2020 Tunsil though. Plus his brothers, his sisters and his dog.
Stanger:
Disreputable? I prefer “of ill repute “ oh wait a minute
LOL — you are the illest reputablest of all. 🙂
LOL whore

Yeah, that is Accent Grave. the è is pronounced “Eh”
Holy crap, AB done with the Raidahs. So it looks like even with the emotional apology, and even if he plays week one, the crap he pulled already allowed the Raiders to void the guaranteed money, and it became a week to week contract. (Because they would have been stupid not to enact that part of the contract at this point no matter what he said.)
Stang,
LOL, yep you called it on the grievance, but that isn’t a big surprise. AB is the victim here, of course he files a grievance.
Wanna put some money on it that I am right about the contract and AB doesn’t get jack shit? 🙂
Never said he would win Cav, just that might not be as clear as the articles made it out to be and that lawyers would get involved if he got cut. His agent is Drew Rosenhaus and Brown was one of the hottest FA’s there was. To me means contract was negotiated fully by both sides. But no have not read it.
Nice game between Army and Michigan, now midway through the 4th quarter: 14-14!
GO ARMY!!!
Lol, I agree with those above saying we should trade Parker to the Raiders. I hear they have a bunch of brand new Xenith Shadow helmets. Maybe we can get a couple of those in return….
How smart do the fucking Steelers look right now?
And if AB ends up on the Patriots and is a model citizen, then that is some BS that had better be investigated.
